Zigi, have a good trip, so we should assume that here around 1250 on the Naz you are going to stay short until we reach 1000, or until you are back in few months. I think it is a risky propositions, but time will tell. It depends of course what kind of stocks you are short, or did you short indices?
Last, it is not helpful when the discussion derail to the "quality" of various nation's leaders, at least not on this thread, I have a litany of "complaints" on European leaders and would be eager to discuss with you the quality of Europe and Britain's politics, but on the political thread.
Have a good vacation.
